Cuando voy a la aldea by Iñigo Igualador — Lyrics
No hay mejor señal de agua
que cuando llueve, Serrana.
"Mira que tu padre te llama"
"Dile que no voy. ¡No voy, vaya!"
Desde que te fuiste de mañana.
Desde que te fuiste, Pepi,
la huerta no se ha regado.
La hierba buena no crece
y el perejil se ha secado.
Que dejame subir
al carro carretero,
que dejame subir

About Cuando voy a la aldea
This Spanish secular chanson for SAATBB voices paints a vivid picture of rural life and longing. The lyrics express a playful negotiation between a suitor and a father, set against the backdrop of a neglected garden, suggesting that love, or its absence, affects the very earth. The second half of the text shifts to a charming paradox: the journey to the loved one's village is effortless, while leaving feels like an arduous climb. The composer Iñigo Igualador captures this emotional landscape with music that likely mirrors the contrast between joyful anticipation and melancholic departure, making it an engaging piece for an experienced choir.
